I'm not trying to argue that poker is light work or dark work but i don't think taking responsibility for other peoples actions is a good thing especially when its just screen names and speculative situations. |
That's not entirely correct. There is certainly skill involved in poker, and it's possible for good players to consistently beat less able players. Do you think that scammers should not take responsibility for other people's actions when they are too foolish to detect a scam? Sure, there will be some games where people will bet with money they can afford to lose, but professional poker players knowingly profit from other people's indiscretion.
Of course, the argument can always be made that "they're going to lose the money to someone anyway, so why shouldn't it be me?"
